The cleanup is scheduled from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Student-athletes also are scheduled to rake leaves at Bayside Cemetery.
The event is being held for the 19th year. SUNY Potsdam Athletics has organized the effort for nearly two decades, bringing student-athletes into the community to help with seasonal yard work.
